The Best Dyslexia Resources on the Web

The internet has a wealth of advice and learning opportunities, but when it comes to your child's dyslexia, we'd like to help you sift through the information overload.

If your child is struggling with reading, it's often just as challenging for parents to to figure out what advice is most worthwhile. While it's certainly good to have the options for seeking advice, it's simply overwhelming just how many dyslexia and reading-centered bloggers and websites there are -- and they aren't all equally helpful. The last thing parents need is to repeat the same instruction that already frustrated their children in school. As a parent, the material should inspire you to help your child, but the sheer mass of sometimes conflicting assistance can have the opposite effect.

But you can't afford to not try, and we can help. The stakes are simply too high for your child, and regardless of the professionals in your child's life, you "get" your child best. That’s why we at Learning Success Blog want to help, by curating the internet periodically for helpful resources or news for you.
